Obama may earn Millions from Schools in Book Deal

Obama may earn millions from taxpayer-funded schools in his new book deal.

Five days before taking the oath of office, President-elect Barack Obama signed a book deal with Crown Publishing Group to publish a version of his best-selling book, "Dreams from My Father", aimed at middle school and young adult age groups. Obama would receive a $500,000 advance payment against royalties, plus ongoing royalty payments.

In addition, the teacher unions, such as the National Education Association, supported Obama overwhelmingly during the past election as they did the Democratic candidates for House and Senate seats, and the additional federal dollars the schools received in a time of need will not be forgotten.

The current version of Obama's book is already targeted for use by high school students according to the Random House website, and the abridged, easy-to-read version should be an even easier sell. Students will also appreciate the shorter version as they write their book reports.

President George W. Bush placed his assets in a blind trust when he became President to avoid any appearance of impropriety, but President Obama has not followed suit. Instead, he signed on to this business venture just before becoming President despite his campaign promise that there would be change in the way business is conducted in Washington.

The editorial pages have been silent on this aspect of the book deal.

American Thinker: Obama may earn Millions from Schools in Book Deal

The Prez will make millions from beholden educators buying Ayers, er, the Messiah's book.


I never believed I would see a version of Mao's Little Red Book in our nation's schools, supposedly written by one of our own citizens.

Every frigging union in the country has paid the Kenyan for a favor.
Done it publicly and nobody seems to be bothered by it.

lets mull over that whole Newt thing with the book deal that led the democrats to cry about a conflict of interest and have him removed as speaker of the house.

now, I know it was only in retaliation for the attack Newt led against the dems for their banking/bounced check issues, but still. A book is a book and a conflict of interest is a conflict of interest.

I suggest the chosen one step down before he is tainted by such a thing.

You are forgetting that Newt is a Republican and The One, Der Feuhrer, is a Democrat.

What a bunch of losers! I hope he makes another million off of his memoir and any other books he writes.

More brainwashing for our children.

This easy-to-read version is for the Nonno and the same people that will later learn how to avoid being responsible with their finances and let other people pay your debts. Y'know, the tools of the Socialist Empire.

With Obama in charge and in the pockets of Unions, it's no wonder the UAW will now own bigger shares of the Auto Manufacture than the Manufacture!!!
